Let me try to show you where these settings probably are and how to add exclusions to your Firewall and Security - at least how I did it on my computer system.
They are not exactly logically laid out to the average person, but are probably completely logical to the Microsoft programmers. It can be maddening to locate where to make these changes.

Windows 10 is not as user friendly as are previous Windows versions. Like I said before, some parts of it need to be updated and made clearer, so be careful and make the changes you make fit your system and installation. The firestorm link above shows you how to do that for many anti-virus programs. You also need to exclude the cache folders from anti-virus and security scans.
firestorm-release64.exe (or firestorm-release.exe). You should have the following files excluded in your firewall: You won't be needing the Firestorm.bin or Firstorm.exe in there if you are using a more modern release of the viewer. For example, if your current version of Firestorm is installed in the folder "firestorm_圆4" make sure the exclusion is not set to "FirestormOS_圆4" or some other name. Many things have changed over the many versions of both Firestorm and your Operating System and you need to be sure that everything is still valid. HOWEVER, even if you have already done this in the past, go back and check to make sure the exclusions are still there and are still correct. Those are general directions and some bits are outdated. You need to make sure you add the correct filenames and folders and not just add exactly what they have listed there. Some of it does need to be updated to the current release, filenames, folders, and also made just a little clearer. One of the primary adjustments you will probably need to do is to exclude your viewer programs and folders from your firewall and anti-virus programs.į provides good instruction for accomplishing this ( Firestorm Whitelisting) for many anti-virus programs and your firewall. Operating systems and anti-virus programs can hinder, stymie, and block, communications and installations of the Firestorm Viewer. In this modern age of worry over hackers, trojans, worms, viruses, phishers, scammers, and probably aliens, everything is getting complicated. Outside of Firestorm (and any SL viewer) you probably will have to do some tweaking too for optimum efficiency and stability. Firestorm is a wonderful feature filled viewer, complex at times, but with a little time and effort you can get the most out of your Second Life experience by learning the basics of the settings.
